In all honesty, it only needs a reducing gear for the hour hand to creep round at half speed, does anyone know if there was a wrist watch in the same pattern produced by anyone?Interesting piece and there was me thinking it was a photoshop model having never been to Spa Town!

There have been a number of wrist watches produced over the years with a 24 hour dial, the breitling top time comes to mind.

It does take some time getting used to indeed. I have a 24-hour dial watch and don't wear it often enough to really get used to it but I guess that after a few days it won't be too difficult anymore.

Kind regards,

Clemens

PS: isn't the word "Magique" used for the case design instead of for the 24-hour dial?

Well, Alan, we know that nobody here actually buys a watch to read the time :-) I think this 24h dial is very collectible and special, as much as any other complication that is actually useless today (tourbillon, minute repeater, perpetual calendar or even a simple chrono).
